We had a wonderful stay over Christmas! The chalet was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and the hot tub was a hit, especially as the snowflakes were falling. I would definitely stay here again.

50 th birthday BC ski trip

The Chalet was the perfect place to stay to Ski at Whitewater and Ski Back country at Kootenay pass. It was a great fit for myself and four friends. Given the chance I will return there for another trip.

Great ski chalet

Stayed here with a couple friends on a ski trip. The chalet is large and comfortable for a large group or family. Beautiful setting, very close to whitewater for skiing and about 10min drive into Nelson. Given the large amount of snow the listing does say an SUV required to access the property and I would agree with that. As a parent of young children who were not on this trip, i would be cautious staying here with mobile toddlers. The staircase would be a concern, and if staying here in the winter you would not be able to safely use the fireplace. Would definitely recommend to those looking for a quiet chalet in the mountains!

Great place for a ski trip base

Love the convenient location for a home base. The property has a nice rustic cabin feel. It is clean (aside from a few dust bunnies that go with a log cabin) and has good amenities to make your stay great. The beds are comfortable, although they are short for tall people. In the kitchen there could be more cutlery (forks?!) and new frying pans. There was no propane for the outdoor grille so we purchased and left 2 full tanks. The cabin access path, including the wooden stairs, became quite slippery after a single snowfall. There was no sand or ice melter available, so watch your step. Be aware that the hot tub is user maintained and requires chemicals for proper water quality. We found the chemicals in the shed by the parking lot. Our group enjoyed our stay and hope to return next year!

We LOVE Nelson

First time to Nelson and we fell in love with this perfect little town! The cabin is indeed 10 minutes outside of town, but we could easily go to town whenever we wanted, then get away from it all when we wanted. As stated by other reviewers, the temps at the cabin are about 10 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than in town and since we were there the end of July, that provided some relief from the heat, although the cabin got pretty hot during the afternoon and early evening. The hot tub had a leak so we only used it once, and it required filling it up with a hose before use. It was supposedly getting replaced any day. A previous reviewer had mentioned the clear cut hillside adjacent to the cabin, so we were aware of it, but still taken aback by the reality of it. Guessing it is less startling when everything is covered in snow.

A hide away spot in the woods

This is a perfect cabin for winter skiing. We stayed there in mid August. It is easy to find, but you have to drive up a gravel forest road for about 500 metres and there are no other cabins to spot.. The cabin is equipped with just about everything you need. We enjoyed our stay, although it felt a bit remote. Having said that, it is only a ten minutes ride to Nelson.

Beautiful space

We had a lovely time in this gorgeous cabin. It was secluded and generally pretty quiet. The occassional car drove by but we couldn't see them and it was a lovely escape. The place had lots of seating and all 8 adults were able to comfortably hang out in the living ro and deck areas. The hot tub was a hit and was in a great spot a little away from the cabin so it was nice and quiet if only a couple people wanted to use it. We were there in the shoulder season so it was a touch muddy, but that was well communicated to us and we were absolutely prepared for it and that was so we'll appreciated. Overall we all had a great experience and would suggest this place to anyone.

Ski hideout in the Woods

We loved this space for a ski weekend with friends. So close and convenient to Whitewater and beyond! The common spaces were perfect for eating and celebrating. Rooms were cozy and clean. Property manager was immediately helpful for one small cold weather water mishap. We hope to return to this sweet cabin in the woods!!

Rustic charm

Rustic charm within 10 mins to the mountain. Loved proximity to the mountain and privacy. Authentic log cabin with basic creature comforts. Wood stove provided the main source of heat for the living area. 4 wheel drive vehicle a must in the winter to access the driveway. The steps down to the house were steep, winding and well cleared. but were challenging with luggage. Best part was the feeling of being in a tree house. 15-20 minutes to Nelson. would consider staying there again due to proximity to the mountain.

The Perfect Cabin for a Winter Wonderland Vacation

My husband and I and our adult children wanted a winter vacation because we live in parts of the world where snow is rare. We couldn't have picked a better place. Located on the road to the Whitewater ski resort and close to lovely cross country ski trails, this cabin was exactly what we wanted. With the cute town of Nelson just 20 minutes away, we had it all. The cabin was rustic but well equipped. The electrical heat was supplemented by a wood-burning fireplace with a great supply of wood to keep it going. The driveway was plowed regularly early in the day so we never had access issues no matter how much it snowed - and it did snow! Folks with mobility issues should be aware there are stairs to get from the driveway to the cabin and you will probably have to clear snow yourself to get up and down them. Also, in winter be prepared for occasional short power failures. We lost power for 4 hours on our first evening and were glad we'd thought to throw flashlights into our car emergency kit. If we owned our own winter cabin, this would be exactly what it would be like: cozy, rustic, comfortable and close to all the fun things we like to do. We're so glad we found and booked it.

Liked: Listing accuracy

Property not as described

Place looks beautiful as u drive up, but you soon realize that it is not what u hoped for. (Reality compared to pictures) A large area of trees have been cut/fallen down around the cabin is the first thing u notice. Then once u go down the stairs to the cabin u realize the cabin is not near as nice or kept up as the pictures show. Spider webs inside up in the corners, old fridge that wasn't clean, counter tops in need of replacement. We ended up doing the dishes before we used them first time. Need to use a fork to get washing machine door open. (Cuboards by washer/dryer had lots of "junk" in them) The hot tub was functional but was very old and the wood paneling started to fall apart and rot. We thought we heard rodent activity overnight, but we were not sure till we found lots of mouse droppings behind speaker system above the staircase. Would we stay again? No.

Liked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy

The chalet and property conditions were not as posted.

The building and the outside surroundings are beautiful. I would have found my stay more rewarding if the place was clean (dirty dishes were left in oven) and the furnishings were updated (torn upholstery on a living room chair and on the outdoor furnishings). The queen bed upstairs was a foam mattress. The outside could have used some tender, loving care. The hot tub has broken/rotted siding. There were also fallen and rotted railing posts along the walk way to the cabin. Although they left a six pack of beer for us to enjoy, I would have preferred if the place looked more like the pictures. After sending messages about my disappointment I did receive an email saying that they were sorry that the place didn’t meet my standards. I would not stay at this place in the future. There are far nicer places offered in the area for the same amount of money.

Exactly as described

Quaint, fun, solid, lovely wood fireplace and a big hot tub. Beds were comfy and the cotton sheets were crisp and lovely. It is also very close to Nelson. We took our dogs and it worked very well for them, A large boot-up area where we put kennels. It was a perfect 3 day get away for our family.

Hidden in the trees

Great location. 10 km from Nelson and 10 km from Whitewater ski hill. Property is secluded in the trees, but easy to drive/hike to and from. Great hiking in the area. Lots of room in the house. We slept in bunky. Rain on tin roof was awesome. Soaker tub very nice, and only one shower, but 2 washrooms. Can hear road noise, but it isn't a busy road. Owner and manager were very responsive when needed. Lighting in main cabin could be better - as some of the lightbulbs were burned out, and could use a few more reading lights in main living room. Bunky was well lit and lighting from bunky to main house was well lit. Main house is comfortable with sturdy, older furniture. Functional kitchen, large living area, nice deck. Pillows in all rooms could be replaced. Bring your own otherwise. Coffee maker and filters provided. Lots of towels. Washer, dryer, dishwasher, hand/dish soap also in the main house.

Great cabin feel close to Nelson

Nice to have the out of town feel but the town is so close you can easily go and grab stuff you need to make your stay even much better. The house was as expected although i was hoping for a nice open plot of land close to the house for our dog ( which is available after a flight of stairs ). Just be prepared for stairs if you have elderly family members. Overall great experience. I would recommend this to couples as their bathroom has a gorgeous bath. Very open;)

Great stay

Great location 10 min drive from Nelson! We really enjoyed watching the stars from the hot tub. Check in was great. We had no issues getting up to property but it was a bit bumpy on the forestry road in one of our lower clearance cars (Honda Fit). Rustic cabin vibes and make sure to bring your own cooking spices/oil ect as there isn't a lot there. Would recommend.
